Pizza

I dedicate this first entry to my Mother. When my oldest brother turned 13 she decided to have New Year's Eve parties so that she would know where is was. At midnight she would serve homemade pizza. She would use the large rectangle cookie sheets as her pizza pans.

2 1/4 cups warm liquid
1 tablespoon salt
3 tablespoons sugar
2 cakes (tablespoons) yeast

Put above together, stir till dissolved and let bubble. Add 2 tablespoons shortening. Add flour till easy to handle. Let stand till double. Punch down, knead and pat out to fit pizza pans. Spread sauce over dough, then choice of meat, cheese, onions, green peppers or whatever you wish. Bake at 375 degrees F till edges of dough are just golden brown. This makes 2 cookie sheets.
